LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Mr. a. T, Allen,'}
Superintendent of Puhlic Instruction,
Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Mr. Allen :
The Annual Report of the High School Inspector has not been
printed separately since 1919, when the Twelfth Annual Report was
published. The reports for 1919-20, 1920-21, and 1921-22 are en-closed
herewith for publication. These constitute, therefore, the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Annual Reports of the High
School Inspector. For the sake of convenience and to lessen expense
the three reports are printed in one volume. The essential facts
relative to the high school situation are given for the various years.
Sincerely yours,
Supervisor of High Schools.
Raleigh, February 13, 1924.

THE HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION, 1919-1920
There has been much progress iu the development of our high
schools during the past decade, but an analysis of the present situ-ation
reveals the fact that much remains to be done.
The tables given in this report were taken from the annual reports
of 420 public high schools, (white), giving one or more years of high
school work. The total number of pupils enrolled was 29,294, the
largest enrollment in the history of the State. While this is signifi-cant,
a study of the enrollment by years reveals the fact that there
is decided elimination of pupils from the schools during the first and
second years particularly. It may be possible to account for this
elimination, but the fact remains that it is enormous and should
be prevented as far as possible. The holding power of the high
school should be increased.
The number of graduates indicates that ten per cent of those
enrolled in high school completed the course. This percentage should
be higher, but the fact that enrollment in institutions of higher learn-ing
is increasing so rapidly is a tribute to the effectiveness of our
high schools in training boys and girls to meet college entrance re-quirements.
The number of high schools per county ranges all the way from
one each in Graham and Brunswick to 19 in Buncombe and 20 in
Mecklenburg.
There is great need for consolidation of schools in order that a
few strong, centrally located high schools may be developed in each
county. For example, there are 14 schools in Rowan attempting
high school work, and 12 in Davidson, 11 in Johnston and 13 in
Guilford. More satisfactory results could be secured if the smaller
schools were consolidated and the pupils transported.
There is growing interest in the matter of standard or accredited
schools.
There are 147 accredited high schools in the State. Of these
schools, 141 are white schools, 6 are colored, 102 urban, 45 rural;
13 6 public, and 31 private.
An accredited school is one that meets the following requirements:
1. Three Avhole-time teachers, holding proper class of certificates.
2. Four-year course of study.
3. Term at least 160 days.
4. Recitation periods 45 minutes in length.
5. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of science.
6. Library facilities.
7. Fifteen units required for graduation.
8. Forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.
6 Public High Schools, 1919-1920
The following counties have no standard public high schools:
Alexander, Ashe, Avery, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Cas-well,
Currituck, Dare, Davie, Gates, Graham, Greene, Harnett, Hert-ford,
Hyde, Jones, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Montgomery, Ons-low,
Pamlico, Perquimans, Stokes, Transylvania, Washington, Yad-kin,
Yancey.
There should be, at least, one public high school of standard grade
in every county in the State. The action of the General Assembly
at its special session in August, making available a fund for assist-ing
in establishing standard high schools, will greatly facilitate this
work.
From the facts given it is very manifest that a good deal of the
high school work is not of the character that it should be because no
one teacher ought to undertake to give four years of high school work.
In fact in order to do satisfactory work three teachers should be em-ployed
in schools offering four years of high school work and a four
year course should never be offered unless the school has, at least, two
whole time teachers. Even then a four year course cannot be given
unless provision is made for alternation of subjects.
Some of the outstanding features of the present situation should
be noted. The great need of all of our high schools is a sufficient
amount of money. High school instruction is more costly than in-struction
in elementary schools and the high schools of the State
should be subsidized or the appropriations increased in some way.
An enormous amount of money is needed for buildings and equip-ment.
There are very few high schools in the State that are at all
adequately equipped. This is not a criticism, it is simply a state-ment
of facts and the only way to remedy the situation is to get and
spend the necessary amount of money. The source of this money for
high schools, as in all other cases, is the property of the folks, and
the method of securing it is taxation. We need to understand this
and to provide more liberally for our high schools.
In the next place, the high school course of study should be
changed. There is too great insistence upon traditional subjects. A
great many schools still require each student to take Latin, and will
allow no substitution therefor. This is wrong. Such a subject as
Latin ought to be oifered to everybody, but required of nobody.
The high school course of study in a great many instances needs to be
enriched and made more elastic. There is great need for the teach-ing
of science in the high schools. Science teachers are needed. To
snpply this need, an arrangement is being made with directors of
summer schools for special work in general science during the sum-mer
of 1921. It will be possible for a high school teacher to go to a
summer school and spend the entire six weeks on general science,
Public High Schools, 1919-1920
doing text-book work and laboratory work together with some dis-cussion
of methods of teaching science. A teacher who has had good
general academic training will be able to secure such mastery of gen-eral
science as will enable her to do effective work in teaching this
subject.
A constant need is well trained teachers for our high schools. The
institutions of higher education are not turning out a sufficient number
of "well trained men and women to become teachers in our high schools
and every effort possible should be made to make it attractive for
strong young men and women to become teachers in the high schools
of the State. Our obligation, then, is
:
1. Adequate support for our high schools.
2. Well trained teachers.
3. Consolidation of schools and transportation of pupils.
4. A broader course of study. Minimizing the classics and an em-phasis
upon science.
5. Better buildings and better equipment.
6. At least one standard high school in every county in ]^orth
Carolina.

FACTS RELATIVE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION
1920-1921
The General Assembly of N'ortli Carolina at tlie extra session in
1920 and the regailar session in 1921 enacted laws that vitally affect
the high schools of the State. High schools are now recognized as a
vital, integral, organic part of the public school system. The legis-lation
affecting high schools may be stated as follows
:
1. The salaries of high school teachers will be provided as the sal-aries
of all other public school teachers, the State schedule furnishing
the basis for these salaries. (See "An Act to Provide Revenue for the
Public Schools for Six Months for Teacher Training and Administra-tion.")
2. In a great many districts high school work has been retarded
because of the lack of adequate facilities. The high school will share
in the benefits of the legislation providing for a special building fund.
(See "An Act to Provide a Special Building Fund to be Loaned to
County Boards of Education to Aid in Erecting Schoolhouses.")
3. The high school is affected by the law relating to vocational
education. For the provision of this act see section 5394 of the School
Law, entitled "Amended Sections of the Law Relating to Vocational
Education."
4. The most significant legislation with reference to high schools
is section 13 of the "Act to Provide Revenue for the Public Schools for
Six Months." The section reads as follows
:
Sectiox 13. There shall be appropriated annually from the State Public
School Fund the sum of $224,000 for the encouragement of vocational edu-cation,
and for the building of standard high schools in the rural districts,
and providing teacher training courses in public high schools. So much of
this amount as may be necessary shall be used by the State Board for
Vocational Education to meet the Federal appropriation under the Smith-
Hughes Act for the encouragement of vocational education and for the re-habilitation
of persons injured in industries or otherwise. The State Board
of Education is hereby authorized to spend the remainder in aiding the
establishment in rural districts of consolidated schools containing high
schools. The preference ^hall be given first to those counties having no stand-ard
high school, and second to those counties having no standard high school
in the rural districts: Provided, that no part of this fund shall be used in any
school unit containing less than Ave teachers, nor in districts having a
special local tax rate voted by the people less than the average rate voted
in the State, in addition to the State and county school tax for the six
months school term, nor in any district containing a town of more than
1,500 inhabitants, unless the number of children living in the rural district
attending school shall exceed the number attending from within the incor-porated
limits of said town.
10 Public High Schools, 1920-1921
It is estimated that relatively $75,000 of this fund will be available
for high schools. It is the purpose of the Department of Public
Instruction to apply this fund as stated in the law for the establishment
and maintenance of standard high schools in the thirty or more counties
that have no standard schools at the present time. It will be the pur-pose
of the State Department to use this money in sufficiently large
amounts to make it really effective in securing a high grade of institu-tions
and therefore of instruction, rather than to spend it in small
amounts upon a larger number of schools.
Attention is called to the following conditions upon which this
fund of $224,000 will be administered, or so much of it as will be
devoted to high schools:
1. The school unit must have at least five teachers. As a rule,
however, it will require a school employing seven or more teachers and
having an enrollment of not fewer than 250 pupils.
2. The school district must have a special tax rate of approximately
thirty cents (.30), as that is about the average rate voted in the State.
3. Appropriations Avill be made only to schools in the rural dis-tricts
or in towns of not more than 1,500 inhabitants, unless the num-ber
of children living in the rural district attending school shall exceed
the number attending within incorporated limits of any town.
4. In order to secure appropriations from this fund it will be nec-essary
in most cases for small schools to be consolidated in order to
create a school unit of sufficient size.
RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State High
School Inspector have worked out the following plans providing for
high school instruction under North Carolina's New Six Months School
Law. Both superintendents and high school principals are requested to
study these plans with reference to their application to their respective
schools.
High School Instruction in Non-standard Schools
1. 'No school shall be recognized as competent to sustain a high school
department, unless it is maintained for at least eight months.
2. There must be at least twenty pupils in average daily attendance
in grades above the seventh, or elementary school, for a school to be
recognized as a high school.
3. There must be at least five teachers in the school unit, at least
one of whom must devote his whole time to distinctively high school
work.
4. A holder of a High School Teachers' Certificate of Class A may
be principal of a non-standard high school.
Public High Schools, 1920-1921 11
5. A school may employ two high school teachers if there are thirty
pupils in average daily attendance in the high school.
6. A third high school teacher will be allowed when the number of
high school pupils in daily attendance for the year is forty-five or
more; provided the number of pupils in the fourth year high school
course is sufficient to justify it, and the building and equipment are
adequate to the needs of such school.
Courses of Study
The former policy with regard to the high school program of
studies will be continued. There will be no prescribed curriculum
for all high schools to follow. Local school authorities will have
ample freedom to make such local adaptations in the high school
curriculum as are possible with the means at hand and as they may
deem wnse, subject to the State's standards for accredited schools. The
State Department of Public Instruction will, as in the past, issue
suggested courses for the guidance and the assistance of principals and
other local authorities, but there will be no rigid prescription in this
matter. Any department of the high school that has heretofore been
maintained at public expense may be continued.
The School Building
A complete plan for a Consolidated School, besides the regular
class-rooms, should contain
:
1. An auditorium with movable seats so that it can also be used as a
gymnasium. The minimum size being 40x60 feet.
2. A room for nature study, biology and agriculture to be known as a
General Science Room.
3. A room for domestic science and sewing to be known as a Home
Economics Room.
4. A room where skill and practice in the use of tools can be given, repair
work done, etc., to be known as a Shop Work Room.
5. A Library Room with reading table on which books can be placed.
6. A teachers' rest room which may be used also as a Medical Inspection
Room.
7. A Principal's Office.
Records and Reports
All public liigli schools will be required to keep complete records and
to make the "jDreliminary" and "annual" reports of their work, as
heretofore required, on forms to be furnished by the State Depart-ment
of Public Instruction.
Inspection
All public high schools will be subject to inspection at any time by
the Department of Public Instruction. In this matter the policy of
the department Avill continue to be, as it has been in the past, one of
sympathetic cooperation, stimulation, and suggestion.
12 Public High Schools, 1920-1921

HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZATION, 1921-22
There has been steady development in the field of Secondary Edu-cation
in this State since 1907. There are more boys and girls in
the high schools today than ever before. A larger number of high
school graduates went to college last year than ever before in the
history of the State. In our program of training for citizenship in a
democracy high school education assumes an increasingly important
role. It is necessary, therefore, that the high school become the best
possible agency for the training of the future citizens of the State
and J^ation. To this end high schools should be so organized that
the most effective work possible may be done. Some persons have
had the notion, no doubt, that a teacher Avith indifferent equipment
and a handful of students, Avithout definite classification, pursuing
one or more of the traditional high school subjects, constituted a
high school. This, however, is not the conception of a high school
which should be entertained today. In order to do effective high
school work there must be well trained teachers, properly prepared
and classified pupils, adequate school room space and equipment, and
the necessary amount of money to maintain the school.
In an attempt to improve the work in high schools further classifi-cation
is deemed advisable. The schools will be classified, therefore,
r.s follows
:
I. EECOGNIZED
II. CEETIFIED
III. STA^DAED OE ACCEEDITED
I. EECOGJsTIZED. A EECOGNIZED school is one that meets
the following requirements
:
1. Two year course of study beyond the seventh grade. That is,
the work of the 8th and 9th grades, or the first and second years of
high school.
2. A term of eight months or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. One whole-time high school teacher, holding proper certificate.
4. Eecitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length that each
course may be 120 clock hours, or one unit of work.
5. Eight units required for the completion of the course.
6. A library of not fewer than 100 volumes. (See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
7. At least twenty pupils in average daily attendance.
The time element in a EECOGNIZED school is the same as that
in standard or accredited schools. This is necessary in order that a
Public High Schools, 1921-1922 17
student may do sucli work as will be recognized at face value when
the work of the last two years is undertaken. A student can go from
a KECOGNIZED school to the next higher class, namely, CERTI-FIED
and get credit for two years of work and complete the course
in a CERTIFIED school in one year. Or a student may go from a
RECOGNIZED school to a STANDARD school and complete the
course in two years and receive all the benefits of graduation from a
standard school. One teacher gives whole time to instruction. It
is pretty clear that one teacher cannot do satisfactorily more than
two years of work when there are twenty pupils in average daily
attendance and only then by such alternation of subjects as is indi-cated
in the Course of Study.
II. CERTIFIED. A CERTIFIED High School is one that
meets the following requirements
:
1. Three years of work beyond, the seventh grade. That is, the
eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, or first, second and third years of
high school.
2. A term of thirty-two weeks or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. Two whole-time high school teachers, holding proper certificates.
4. Recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length in order
that each course may be 120 clock hours, or one unit of work.
5. Twelve units of work required for completion of the course.
6. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of General Science at least.
7. A library of not fewer than 200 volumes. (See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
8. At least thirty pupils in average daily attendance.
The length of term and the length of recitation periods are identical
with requirements for a STANDARD school. This is done that a
student may get full credit for work completed when going from a
CERTIFIED to a STANDARD School. In other words a person,
who has completed the work in a CERTIFIED School can graduate
from a STANDARD High School in one year and receive all the
benefits of graduation from a STANDARD School. By certain alter-nation
of subjects it will be possible for two teachers to give a good
three year course and lay a good foundation for any further work that
the student may undertake.
III. STANDARD. The meaning of a STANDARD High School
is prQtty clear to th^e high school people of the State. By a
STANDARD or ACCREDITED School of the lowest class is meant
the following
:

4. Recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length, in order
that each course may be the equivalent of 120 clock hours, or one
unit of work.
5. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of Science, especially Gen-eral
Science and Biology.
6. A library of not fewer than 300 volumes—(See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
7. Fifteen standard units required for graduation.
8. At least forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.
By proper organization and administration three teachers can give
a very satisfactory course—equipping pupils for admission to college,
or giving a good foundation for any work that the pupil may wish to
undertake.
The purpose of all classification or standardization of all high
schools is that the work may be of the largest possible benefit to the
student. The one aim of the high school is preparation of boys and
girls for the best sort of living and any organization or classification
that contributes to the realization of that aim is highly justified.
HIGH SCHOOL STANDARDIZATIOJT, 1921-22
Intelligent interest in the development of high schools in ISTorth
Carolina is manifested in no way better than in the attention which
people in general are giving to the matter of standard high schools.
Parents and pupils are raising the question as to the standing of their
schools. There is constant demand for a standard school that the
graduates may be the recipients of such benefits as are known to go
along with standardization. The emphasis upon the establishment
of standard schools in this State has not been for the sake of the
standard, but for the sake of the increased effectiveness which standard-ization
secures. It is true that the standard in this State is not as
high as could be desired, but the standard can be raised when a suffi-cient
number of schools have attained the goal already set.
There are in this State 223 standard schools, public and private,
urban and rural, white and colored. Of these standard schools 206
are white and 17 colored. Of the Avhite schools 171 are public and
35 private. Of the 17 colored schools 3 are public and 14 are private.
The significance of this achievement is more clearly indicated when
it is understood that a standard school of the lowest class is one that
meets the following requirements
:
1. A four-year course of study.
2. Length of term eight months, or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. Three 'whole-time high school teachers, holding proper certificates.
4. Length of recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in order
that each course may be 120 clock hours or a unit of work.
Public High Schools, 1921-1922 19
5. Fifteen standard units required for graduation.
6. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of Science, at least Gen-erall
Science and Biology.
7. A library of not fewer than 300 volumes, selected from the high
school library list.
8. At least forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Mr. a. T, Allen,'}
Superintendent of Puhlic Instruction,
Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Mr. Allen :
The Annual Report of the High School Inspector has not been
printed separately since 1919, when the Twelfth Annual Report was
published. The reports for 1919-20, 1920-21, and 1921-22 are en-closed
herewith for publication. These constitute, therefore, the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Annual Reports of the High
School Inspector. For the sake of convenience and to lessen expense
the three reports are printed in one volume. The essential facts
relative to the high school situation are given for the various years.
Sincerely yours,
Supervisor of High Schools.
Raleigh, February 13, 1924.

THE HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION, 1919-1920
There has been much progress iu the development of our high
schools during the past decade, but an analysis of the present situ-ation
reveals the fact that much remains to be done.
The tables given in this report were taken from the annual reports
of 420 public high schools, (white), giving one or more years of high
school work. The total number of pupils enrolled was 29,294, the
largest enrollment in the history of the State. While this is signifi-cant,
a study of the enrollment by years reveals the fact that there
is decided elimination of pupils from the schools during the first and
second years particularly. It may be possible to account for this
elimination, but the fact remains that it is enormous and should
be prevented as far as possible. The holding power of the high
school should be increased.
The number of graduates indicates that ten per cent of those
enrolled in high school completed the course. This percentage should
be higher, but the fact that enrollment in institutions of higher learn-ing
is increasing so rapidly is a tribute to the effectiveness of our
high schools in training boys and girls to meet college entrance re-quirements.
The number of high schools per county ranges all the way from
one each in Graham and Brunswick to 19 in Buncombe and 20 in
Mecklenburg.
There is great need for consolidation of schools in order that a
few strong, centrally located high schools may be developed in each
county. For example, there are 14 schools in Rowan attempting
high school work, and 12 in Davidson, 11 in Johnston and 13 in
Guilford. More satisfactory results could be secured if the smaller
schools were consolidated and the pupils transported.
There is growing interest in the matter of standard or accredited
schools.
There are 147 accredited high schools in the State. Of these
schools, 141 are white schools, 6 are colored, 102 urban, 45 rural;
13 6 public, and 31 private.
An accredited school is one that meets the following requirements:
1. Three Avhole-time teachers, holding proper class of certificates.
2. Four-year course of study.
3. Term at least 160 days.
4. Recitation periods 45 minutes in length.
5. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of science.
6. Library facilities.
7. Fifteen units required for graduation.
8. Forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.
6 Public High Schools, 1919-1920
The following counties have no standard public high schools:
Alexander, Ashe, Avery, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Cas-well,
Currituck, Dare, Davie, Gates, Graham, Greene, Harnett, Hert-ford,
Hyde, Jones, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Montgomery, Ons-low,
Pamlico, Perquimans, Stokes, Transylvania, Washington, Yad-kin,
Yancey.
There should be, at least, one public high school of standard grade
in every county in the State. The action of the General Assembly
at its special session in August, making available a fund for assist-ing
in establishing standard high schools, will greatly facilitate this
work.
From the facts given it is very manifest that a good deal of the
high school work is not of the character that it should be because no
one teacher ought to undertake to give four years of high school work.
In fact in order to do satisfactory work three teachers should be em-ployed
in schools offering four years of high school work and a four
year course should never be offered unless the school has, at least, two
whole time teachers. Even then a four year course cannot be given
unless provision is made for alternation of subjects.
Some of the outstanding features of the present situation should
be noted. The great need of all of our high schools is a sufficient
amount of money. High school instruction is more costly than in-struction
in elementary schools and the high schools of the State
should be subsidized or the appropriations increased in some way.
An enormous amount of money is needed for buildings and equip-ment.
There are very few high schools in the State that are at all
adequately equipped. This is not a criticism, it is simply a state-ment
of facts and the only way to remedy the situation is to get and
spend the necessary amount of money. The source of this money for
high schools, as in all other cases, is the property of the folks, and
the method of securing it is taxation. We need to understand this
and to provide more liberally for our high schools.
In the next place, the high school course of study should be
changed. There is too great insistence upon traditional subjects. A
great many schools still require each student to take Latin, and will
allow no substitution therefor. This is wrong. Such a subject as
Latin ought to be oifered to everybody, but required of nobody.
The high school course of study in a great many instances needs to be
enriched and made more elastic. There is great need for the teach-ing
of science in the high schools. Science teachers are needed. To
snpply this need, an arrangement is being made with directors of
summer schools for special work in general science during the sum-mer
of 1921. It will be possible for a high school teacher to go to a
summer school and spend the entire six weeks on general science,
Public High Schools, 1919-1920
doing text-book work and laboratory work together with some dis-cussion
of methods of teaching science. A teacher who has had good
general academic training will be able to secure such mastery of gen-eral
science as will enable her to do effective work in teaching this
subject.
A constant need is well trained teachers for our high schools. The
institutions of higher education are not turning out a sufficient number
of "well trained men and women to become teachers in our high schools
and every effort possible should be made to make it attractive for
strong young men and women to become teachers in the high schools
of the State. Our obligation, then, is
:
1. Adequate support for our high schools.
2. Well trained teachers.
3. Consolidation of schools and transportation of pupils.
4. A broader course of study. Minimizing the classics and an em-phasis
upon science.
5. Better buildings and better equipment.
6. At least one standard high school in every county in ]^orth
Carolina.

FACTS RELATIVE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION
1920-1921
The General Assembly of N'ortli Carolina at tlie extra session in
1920 and the regailar session in 1921 enacted laws that vitally affect
the high schools of the State. High schools are now recognized as a
vital, integral, organic part of the public school system. The legis-lation
affecting high schools may be stated as follows
:
1. The salaries of high school teachers will be provided as the sal-aries
of all other public school teachers, the State schedule furnishing
the basis for these salaries. (See "An Act to Provide Revenue for the
Public Schools for Six Months for Teacher Training and Administra-tion.")
2. In a great many districts high school work has been retarded
because of the lack of adequate facilities. The high school will share
in the benefits of the legislation providing for a special building fund.
(See "An Act to Provide a Special Building Fund to be Loaned to
County Boards of Education to Aid in Erecting Schoolhouses.")
3. The high school is affected by the law relating to vocational
education. For the provision of this act see section 5394 of the School
Law, entitled "Amended Sections of the Law Relating to Vocational
Education."
4. The most significant legislation with reference to high schools
is section 13 of the "Act to Provide Revenue for the Public Schools for
Six Months." The section reads as follows
:
Sectiox 13. There shall be appropriated annually from the State Public
School Fund the sum of $224,000 for the encouragement of vocational edu-cation,
and for the building of standard high schools in the rural districts,
and providing teacher training courses in public high schools. So much of
this amount as may be necessary shall be used by the State Board for
Vocational Education to meet the Federal appropriation under the Smith-
Hughes Act for the encouragement of vocational education and for the re-habilitation
of persons injured in industries or otherwise. The State Board
of Education is hereby authorized to spend the remainder in aiding the
establishment in rural districts of consolidated schools containing high
schools. The preference ^hall be given first to those counties having no stand-ard
high school, and second to those counties having no standard high school
in the rural districts: Provided, that no part of this fund shall be used in any
school unit containing less than Ave teachers, nor in districts having a
special local tax rate voted by the people less than the average rate voted
in the State, in addition to the State and county school tax for the six
months school term, nor in any district containing a town of more than
1,500 inhabitants, unless the number of children living in the rural district
attending school shall exceed the number attending from within the incor-porated
limits of said town.
10 Public High Schools, 1920-1921
It is estimated that relatively $75,000 of this fund will be available
for high schools. It is the purpose of the Department of Public
Instruction to apply this fund as stated in the law for the establishment
and maintenance of standard high schools in the thirty or more counties
that have no standard schools at the present time. It will be the pur-pose
of the State Department to use this money in sufficiently large
amounts to make it really effective in securing a high grade of institu-tions
and therefore of instruction, rather than to spend it in small
amounts upon a larger number of schools.
Attention is called to the following conditions upon which this
fund of $224,000 will be administered, or so much of it as will be
devoted to high schools:
1. The school unit must have at least five teachers. As a rule,
however, it will require a school employing seven or more teachers and
having an enrollment of not fewer than 250 pupils.
2. The school district must have a special tax rate of approximately
thirty cents (.30), as that is about the average rate voted in the State.
3. Appropriations Avill be made only to schools in the rural dis-tricts
or in towns of not more than 1,500 inhabitants, unless the num-ber
of children living in the rural district attending school shall exceed
the number attending within incorporated limits of any town.
4. In order to secure appropriations from this fund it will be nec-essary
in most cases for small schools to be consolidated in order to
create a school unit of sufficient size.
RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State High
School Inspector have worked out the following plans providing for
high school instruction under North Carolina's New Six Months School
Law. Both superintendents and high school principals are requested to
study these plans with reference to their application to their respective
schools.
High School Instruction in Non-standard Schools
1. 'No school shall be recognized as competent to sustain a high school
department, unless it is maintained for at least eight months.
2. There must be at least twenty pupils in average daily attendance
in grades above the seventh, or elementary school, for a school to be
recognized as a high school.
3. There must be at least five teachers in the school unit, at least
one of whom must devote his whole time to distinctively high school
work.
4. A holder of a High School Teachers' Certificate of Class A may
be principal of a non-standard high school.
Public High Schools, 1920-1921 11
5. A school may employ two high school teachers if there are thirty
pupils in average daily attendance in the high school.
6. A third high school teacher will be allowed when the number of
high school pupils in daily attendance for the year is forty-five or
more; provided the number of pupils in the fourth year high school
course is sufficient to justify it, and the building and equipment are
adequate to the needs of such school.
Courses of Study
The former policy with regard to the high school program of
studies will be continued. There will be no prescribed curriculum
for all high schools to follow. Local school authorities will have
ample freedom to make such local adaptations in the high school
curriculum as are possible with the means at hand and as they may
deem wnse, subject to the State's standards for accredited schools. The
State Department of Public Instruction will, as in the past, issue
suggested courses for the guidance and the assistance of principals and
other local authorities, but there will be no rigid prescription in this
matter. Any department of the high school that has heretofore been
maintained at public expense may be continued.
The School Building
A complete plan for a Consolidated School, besides the regular
class-rooms, should contain
:
1. An auditorium with movable seats so that it can also be used as a
gymnasium. The minimum size being 40x60 feet.
2. A room for nature study, biology and agriculture to be known as a
General Science Room.
3. A room for domestic science and sewing to be known as a Home
Economics Room.
4. A room where skill and practice in the use of tools can be given, repair
work done, etc., to be known as a Shop Work Room.
5. A Library Room with reading table on which books can be placed.
6. A teachers' rest room which may be used also as a Medical Inspection
Room.
7. A Principal's Office.
Records and Reports
All public liigli schools will be required to keep complete records and
to make the "jDreliminary" and "annual" reports of their work, as
heretofore required, on forms to be furnished by the State Depart-ment
of Public Instruction.
Inspection
All public high schools will be subject to inspection at any time by
the Department of Public Instruction. In this matter the policy of
the department Avill continue to be, as it has been in the past, one of
sympathetic cooperation, stimulation, and suggestion.
12 Public High Schools, 1920-1921

HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZATION, 1921-22
There has been steady development in the field of Secondary Edu-cation
in this State since 1907. There are more boys and girls in
the high schools today than ever before. A larger number of high
school graduates went to college last year than ever before in the
history of the State. In our program of training for citizenship in a
democracy high school education assumes an increasingly important
role. It is necessary, therefore, that the high school become the best
possible agency for the training of the future citizens of the State
and J^ation. To this end high schools should be so organized that
the most effective work possible may be done. Some persons have
had the notion, no doubt, that a teacher Avith indifferent equipment
and a handful of students, Avithout definite classification, pursuing
one or more of the traditional high school subjects, constituted a
high school. This, however, is not the conception of a high school
which should be entertained today. In order to do effective high
school work there must be well trained teachers, properly prepared
and classified pupils, adequate school room space and equipment, and
the necessary amount of money to maintain the school.
In an attempt to improve the work in high schools further classifi-cation
is deemed advisable. The schools will be classified, therefore,
r.s follows
:
I. EECOGNIZED
II. CEETIFIED
III. STA^DAED OE ACCEEDITED
I. EECOGJsTIZED. A EECOGNIZED school is one that meets
the following requirements
:
1. Two year course of study beyond the seventh grade. That is,
the work of the 8th and 9th grades, or the first and second years of
high school.
2. A term of eight months or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. One whole-time high school teacher, holding proper certificate.
4. Eecitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length that each
course may be 120 clock hours, or one unit of work.
5. Eight units required for the completion of the course.
6. A library of not fewer than 100 volumes. (See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
7. At least twenty pupils in average daily attendance.
The time element in a EECOGNIZED school is the same as that
in standard or accredited schools. This is necessary in order that a
Public High Schools, 1921-1922 17
student may do sucli work as will be recognized at face value when
the work of the last two years is undertaken. A student can go from
a KECOGNIZED school to the next higher class, namely, CERTI-FIED
and get credit for two years of work and complete the course
in a CERTIFIED school in one year. Or a student may go from a
RECOGNIZED school to a STANDARD school and complete the
course in two years and receive all the benefits of graduation from a
standard school. One teacher gives whole time to instruction. It
is pretty clear that one teacher cannot do satisfactorily more than
two years of work when there are twenty pupils in average daily
attendance and only then by such alternation of subjects as is indi-cated
in the Course of Study.
II. CERTIFIED. A CERTIFIED High School is one that
meets the following requirements
:
1. Three years of work beyond, the seventh grade. That is, the
eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, or first, second and third years of
high school.
2. A term of thirty-two weeks or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. Two whole-time high school teachers, holding proper certificates.
4. Recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length in order
that each course may be 120 clock hours, or one unit of work.
5. Twelve units of work required for completion of the course.
6. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of General Science at least.
7. A library of not fewer than 200 volumes. (See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
8. At least thirty pupils in average daily attendance.
The length of term and the length of recitation periods are identical
with requirements for a STANDARD school. This is done that a
student may get full credit for work completed when going from a
CERTIFIED to a STANDARD School. In other words a person,
who has completed the work in a CERTIFIED School can graduate
from a STANDARD High School in one year and receive all the
benefits of graduation from a STANDARD School. By certain alter-nation
of subjects it will be possible for two teachers to give a good
three year course and lay a good foundation for any further work that
the student may undertake.
III. STANDARD. The meaning of a STANDARD High School
is prQtty clear to th^e high school people of the State. By a
STANDARD or ACCREDITED School of the lowest class is meant
the following
:
1. A four year course of study beyond the seventh grade.
2. A term of eight months or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. Three whole time high school teachers, holding proper certifi-cates.
2
18 Public High Schools, 1921-1922
4. Recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in length, in order
that each course may be the equivalent of 120 clock hours, or one
unit of work.
5. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of Science, especially Gen-eral
Science and Biology.
6. A library of not fewer than 300 volumes—(See bulletin 33,
High School Library.)
7. Fifteen standard units required for graduation.
8. At least forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.
By proper organization and administration three teachers can give
a very satisfactory course—equipping pupils for admission to college,
or giving a good foundation for any work that the pupil may wish to
undertake.
The purpose of all classification or standardization of all high
schools is that the work may be of the largest possible benefit to the
student. The one aim of the high school is preparation of boys and
girls for the best sort of living and any organization or classification
that contributes to the realization of that aim is highly justified.
HIGH SCHOOL STANDARDIZATIOJT, 1921-22
Intelligent interest in the development of high schools in ISTorth
Carolina is manifested in no way better than in the attention which
people in general are giving to the matter of standard high schools.
Parents and pupils are raising the question as to the standing of their
schools. There is constant demand for a standard school that the
graduates may be the recipients of such benefits as are known to go
along with standardization. The emphasis upon the establishment
of standard schools in this State has not been for the sake of the
standard, but for the sake of the increased effectiveness which standard-ization
secures. It is true that the standard in this State is not as
high as could be desired, but the standard can be raised when a suffi-cient
number of schools have attained the goal already set.
There are in this State 223 standard schools, public and private,
urban and rural, white and colored. Of these standard schools 206
are white and 17 colored. Of the Avhite schools 171 are public and
35 private. Of the 17 colored schools 3 are public and 14 are private.
The significance of this achievement is more clearly indicated when
it is understood that a standard school of the lowest class is one that
meets the following requirements
:
1. A four-year course of study.
2. Length of term eight months, or 160 days, exclusive of holidays.
3. Three 'whole-time high school teachers, holding proper certificates.
4. Length of recitation periods at least forty-five minutes in order
that each course may be 120 clock hours or a unit of work.
Public High Schools, 1921-1922 19
5. Fifteen standard units required for graduation.
6. Laboratory facilities for the teaching of Science, at least Gen-erall
Science and Biology.
7. A library of not fewer than 300 volumes, selected from the high
school library list.
8. At least forty-five pupils in average daily attendance.
The schools which have been added to the list this year are as
follows :
Graham, Taylorsville, Jefferson (Pri.) Virginia-Carolina at Grassy
Creek, Altamont at Crossnore, Pantego, "Windsor, Glen Alpine, More-head
City, I^ewton, Bonlee, Dover, Manteo, Mocksville, Warsaw,

The following private schools for the children of the colored race
have been accredited this year
:
Joseph K. Brick School at Bricks, Albion Academy at Franklinton,
Mary Potter School at Oxford, Kittrell College at Kittrell, Hender-son
Institute at Henderson.

SPECIAL AID FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF STANDARD
HIGH SCHOOLS, 1921-1922
At the beginning of the session 1921-22 there were twenty-seven
counties in the State that had no standard schools. They were as
follows : Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, BrunsAvick, Camden,
Carteret, Caswell, Clay, Dare, Davie, Gates, Graham, Greene, Hyde,
Jones, Madison, Mitchell, Onslow, Pamlico, Perquimans, Stokes,
Transylvania, Tyrrell, Washington, Yadkin, Yancey.
Standard schools were established in the following counties during
the year and placed upon the accredited list at the close of the session
1921-22:
Alexander—Taylorsville High School
Ashe—Virginia-Carolina High School, Grassy Creek
Avery—Altamont Consolidated High School, Crossnore
Dare—Manteo High School
Madison—Marshall High School
Onslow—Jacksonville and Richlands High Schools
Pamlico—Stonewall
Stokes—Walnut Cove
Yadkin—Boonville
In addition to the appropriation of funds for the establishment of
standard schools in counties which had no standard schools, appro-priations
were made for the establishment of standard schools in the
rural districts of certain counties. The following schools were assisted
in becoming standard schools and were placed upon the list at the
close of the session 1921-22
:
